Welcome to the Langton DNA Project.

Below is the Langton DNA database, showing the Y chromosome DNA
profiles of those who have taken a test. You will notice that some of
the rows in the database match very closely and are of a matching colour - this means the people who
these profiles belong to are related to one and other. So those that are adjacent to one and other and of the same colour are related to one and other. Where results do
not match, the respective individuals are not related, and come from
different Langton family origins.

Do scroll all the way to the right to see the Langton origins part of the table, which shows which Langton village origin each profile comes from.

If you are a Langton (or have a variant spelling similar to Langton) and want to participate in the project then please buy a Y-DNA test and let us know the results. We will analyse your results for you to help you get the most of your test.

We reccomend FTDNA as the company to get tested with because they offer the best tests, have the largest database of results to compare against, and are the best value for money. You can join the project by following this link and clicking on the "Join Request" button:

Sceptical about DNA genealogy?

If you're not familiar with genealogical DNA tests, or are just unsure about DNA testing, have concerns or questions, then read our DNA Skeptics article that we put together just for you.

If you still have questions, drop us an email. We are happy to answer any questions you have.

The project is for anyone bearing the name Langton. Those with the surname Langton, but also those with a first name Langton (common in Africa for example), you are all welcome to join, as is anyone with a hyphenated surname that includes Langton, such as Gore-Langton or Langton-Lockton.

We will of course offer our knowledge and help for free, to ensure you get the most out of your results.

Are you a Greenfield?

We believe people with the surname Greenfields may in fact belong to the same family as Langton, but changed their name around 1250AD. There is a Greenfield family tree in our database, so if this is you then please consider taking a DNA test to find out if we have a shared heritage. If you turn out not to be a Langton genetically, then we will still help you get the most from your results.

Findings

You can click on any of the names in the 'Name' column and be taken to another page that will tell you what we know about their profile group, and how we reached our conclusions about their relationship with other members of their profile group.
